Re: XEmacs 21.4.5 "Civil Service" is released.

Andy> I don't understand. What is the problem that you are Andy> referring to? Why didn't the patch cut it? ["patch"? You mean your instructions to "remove the `C'"? Or did my mailer lose something you sent to xemacs-patches?] All I'm saying is that, especially with respect to the Windows code, I'm very much a "manager", not a "maintainer." I'm juggling a lot of balls at once, and I get confused. It helps a lot if you really spell things out for me: my "short-term memory" about the context of any given patch is pretty minimal. Andy> Hey, I'm glad that you did it. It remains to be seen how I Andy> will get on. I'm not ashamed of getting something out, and even in hindsight it seems like it was the only way to get it done. But I do regret the number of broken Windows releases. I'm quite confident you'll do a lot better, because you build daily on that platform and you know it thoroughly. And the basic decisions about what goes in will be a lot better, because you don't have the same biases I have toward stability (ie, "stasis"). The Windows port will be a lot stronger for it. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
